Francis Gary Powers wrote an autobiography, "Operation Overflight". I remember reading it when I was in High School back in the 70s. I'm sure that it's out of print by now.

My USAF dad was PISSED that FGP didn't properly activate the self destruct on the instrument package.... it gave the Russians a BIG boost in tech. The acid was old and had lost potency so it didn't work.

@@aviationwings When dad (USAF 1960-1967) saw Dr. Strange Love (mid 80s) he said "they MUST have had USAF help"......... let's just say he KNEW Mjr Kong....ummmmmmm...... .Polar flight crew mechanic.... etc.... say no more........ say no more.... wink wink........nudge nudge... BUT Kubrick's script was seen as laughable and making fun of the USAF so he was refused ANY help from the brass! Turns out that Stan found every article and every picture ever publically available of the 52 and made his OWN from OCD....... the FBI still had to ask him about how he found out about it...secret and all that..... he dumped dozens of boxes of magazines and news papers onto them, end of investigation!
